Would like to import bbpress posts into my new simple-press forum.
I installed sp-import into the regular wordpress plugin folder.
The 'importer' link appears in the Forum admin menu.
When I click on it, it takes me to: mysite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=sp-import/admin/spimport-setup.php
and that page says "Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page."
Argh, sometimes WP is so annoying.
Thought that this might be a permissions issue, so I chmod -R 777'd the entire sp-import folder. Didn't make any difference.
Suggestions?
Thanks for any help -
Chris

did you install it as a WP plugin (not SP)?
I assume you also tried going to the WP dashboard and then back to the importer menu?
Are you accessing as SP Admin?

Yep, through the WP dashboard and appears as a wp plugin on the plugins page

Just tried again to make sure and got the same thing
> Are you accessing as SP Admin?
hmmm, not sure what you mean by that.... I uploaded both SP and the importer as the WP admin.

SP and WP admins are two different things. Not even sure it matters but checking.
Csn you access all the SP menus?

Yes, from 'forums' to 'toolbox, they all load ok. Just the 'importer' one that doesn't.

Well I just went through the same motions on a test site using the latest WordPress - downloaded; uploaded as a zip and installed; activated. And it all went smoothly. So I do not believe there is any inherent problem with the zip and the code files.
And it is definitely WordPress itself that is throwing you out.
There is one thing I would like to check if you would. Can you visit your server either through ftp or your hosting control panel and take a look at the WP plugins folder. Just check, if you would, the name of the importer folder. It should literally just be 'sp-import'.

Checked and the directory is: sp-import .
I've tried both manual and automatic install of the importer, setting file permissions to 777, increasing memory, deactivating all my plugins except for Simple:Press and the SP importer, cleared out just about everything in my functions.php to see if there was some conflict there. No joy.
Ran the debugger (define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );) with all plugins except SP and the importer deactivated and my functions.php cleared out and no php errors noted, still just the "Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page."
Switched themes (to 2011), no difference.
hmmm, stuck for now.

So what about other WP plugins? Anything active to do with security, user checking, capabilities etc.,, that might be disallowing this? I have been talking to people just over the last week or two who have just used the importer - one of them from bbPress...

Not that I have found, I deactivated my Shield plugin, no difference, checked the log it keeps and nothing related to SP and the importer were blocked.
Check my capabilities manager and the SP capabilities are listed there but can't be edited - I found where they are editable in the SP dashboard and those are all green checked for me.
Please understand that I am not saying that anything is wrong with sp-importer - I'm just trying to figure out how to get around this problem so I can use it -
